Conviction capital
FOR THE CLIMB.
Fourteen mountains on earth rise above eight thousand metres. Standing on top of all of them is not principally a feat of strength. It is preparation, timing, judgment, and the willingness to turn back, repeated over years, in conditions that forgive nothing.
Company-building works the same way. Not one summit but a sequence of them, each demanding a different route, a different team, a different appetite for risk. By the time the last hundred metres are in view, the outcome has usually been decided by choices made much lower down. We invest in those choices, and we stay on the rope for the descent as well as the climb.
14Peaks Capital is an early-stage venture capital firm headquartered in Switzerland with a presence in the United States, investing out of its second fund. Backed by entrepreneurs, financial services executives and family offices, we pair our in-house experience in financial services and fintech with the knowledge, access and reach of our LP base. That combination is what makes us relevant partners to the founders we work with, and what turns support into growth.

Ecosystem
